PALOMAR & PGIA MEXICO EARTHQUAKE RELIEF DONATION

La Jolla, Calif., 25 September, 2017 — Palomar Specialty Insurance Company (“Palomar”) together with sister company, Prospect General Insurance Agency (“PGIA”) made a contribution to the Mexico Earthquake Relief Fund through GlobalGiving. Donations to this fund will exclusively support recovery and relief efforts for these two disasters in Mexico.

On Sept. 19, 2017, Mexico City and surroundings including Morelos and Puebla suffered devastation from a 7.1M earthquake. Homes, schools, and community buildings were destroyed. This followed an 8.1M quake in Oaxaca and Chiapas on Sept. 7.

Initially, the fund will help any first responders meet survivors’ immediate needs for food, fuel, clean water, hygiene products, medical care and shelter. Once initial relief work is complete, this fund will transition to support longer-term recovery efforts run by local, vetted organizations responding to this disaster to help residents recover and rebuild.

“Our thoughts, best wishes and prayers are with the people of Mexico. We applaud the efforts of the first responders and citizens in the impacted areas,” said Palomar CEO, Mac Armstrong.
